What to Expect During Your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Session

Your first experience with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at The Breath Clinic will be relaxing, safe, and non-invasive. We understand that stepping into the chamber for the first time may feel unfamiliar, so here’s a step-by-step guide on what to expect before, during, and after your session.

---

 Before Your Session

• You’ll complete a brief consultation to ensure HBOT is suitable for you.
• Remove any perfumes, oils, or skincare products, and wear clean, comfortable clothing.
• You’ll be asked to remove any electronics or flammable materials before entering the chamber.

 Inside the Hyperbaric Chamber

• You’ll lie down or sit comfortably inside a clear, spacious chamber.
• As the chamber gently pressurizes to 1.5 ATA, you may feel a mild pressure in your ears — similar to the feeling during takeoff in an airplane. This is completely normal and can be relieved by swallowing or yawning.
• You’ll breathe in concentrated oxygen (usually 95% or higher), which helps saturate your blood plasma with oxygen.
• Sessions typically last between 60 to 90 minutes.
• You can relax, meditate, listen to music, or even nap during your session.

 How It Feels

• The experience is calm, quiet, and completely painless.
• The chamber is temperature-controlled and has plenty of airflow.
• Most clients find it deeply relaxing — some even fall asleep!

---

 After Your Session

• The chamber will slowly depressurize, which takes a few minutes.
• You may feel refreshed, calm, and more mentally alert.
• There is no downtime, and you can return to your normal activities immediately.
• Some clients report a boost in energy, clarity, or reduced pain even after the first session, though consistent results are seen with regular use.

Tips for the Best Experience:

• Stay hydrated before and after your session.
• Avoid heavy meals right before.
• Bring a book, podcast, or playlist if you’d like entertainment during your time in the chamber.
